BECOSORB 6000 silica gel is a highly pure amorphous silicic acid-hydrogel with an average moisture content of 55%. The defined particle size of BECOSORB 6000 silica gel is formulated especially for beer filtration. Uniform surface structure and pore size together with optimum pore volume guarantee that protein compounds of high molecular weight are adsorbed from the beer.
